Challeng: Alternative RAF/LW aircraft

Seeing as this is more of a 'what if' & ATL site than discussion on OTL. After all the discussion on best or worst fighter/bomber - thought I would see how others would choose different aircraft in a plausible TL, such aircraft should exist in OTL in prototype or design format - i.e. could have been used, or the role of an OTL aircraft maybe different.
As it is unlikely to be possible to re-equip totally with different aircraft - a large majority of combat aircraft should be ATL.

Interesting. if the RLM's initial antagonism to Willy Messerschmitt had born fruit, it is possible the Luftwaffe could have entered the war with the He112 as its principle fighter...a plane inferior to the Hurricane and with far less development potential than the Bf109. Or perhaps they could have gone with the He 100 as the "second iron on the fire" rather than the Fw190 - another mistake in view of the supreme adaptability of the Focke Wulf. The Fw-187 is a really interesting what if - a high performance single seat twin engine fighter which could have had a major impact on the BoB.

Other interesting German early war what ifs might be the He 118 rather than the Stuka dive bomber - a much more sophisticated and modern plane with perhaps a wider close support utility - maybe a Nazi Sturmovik.

Blackburn B44 retracting bottom flying boat fighter

HAWKER HENLEY, actually built and used as target tugs, but could be quite good if used in combat roles, with the FAA.

BRISTOL TYPE 133, could have been selected over the Gladiator.

The Cunliffe Owen Flying Wing

BLACKBURN B20
Flying boats had to have a deep hull to keep the airscrews clear of the water. The Blackburn B20 was designed so that the whole bottom of the fuselage could be extended to form a central float and wingtip floats folded down to provide support. Once retracted these gave the B20 a streamlined profile and the single prototype built had a sparkling performance, being as fast as a Beaufighter. The prototype crashed during the test program and the Catalina flying boat was purchased from America instead. As originally designed the B20 was to be powered by 24 cylinder Vulture in-line engines (see picture below). In the picture above I have painted the B20 as it may have looked with the more reliable Hercules radial engine.
